To all whomit may concern:

Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH SCHNEIDER, a subjeot of the Grand Duke of Baden, residing at Triberg, in the Graml 5 Duchy of Baden, German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Storage Batteries, of which the following is a full and clear description. My invention is an electrode for storage m hatteries; and it consists in the special combination of'elements hereinafter fully (leseribecl and. claimeilfl v In the drawings; Figure 1 is a View of a battery-cell partlj hroken away. Fig. 2 is a 15 side view of the same. I Fig.3"is a plan view, and Fig. 4 is asectional View, of a modificzu tion.

The electrode comprises two outer perforated plates ct, having cross-stays a extendzo ing hetween,-upon whichth'e troughs Z) rest, the latter carrying the active material, with current- (hhduetors c c embedded therein. The plates ct and the stays a are formed. of

non-conducting material, as celluloid. The

25' troughs b may be of conducting material. The electrolyte enters through the pergorations in the plates co to the space above-the troughs and upon the active material.

Plates or strips (1 maybe inserted between 30 the plates ct of adjacent electrode members to provide space between them for the circulation of the electrolyte.

Fig. 4 shows a modification in which a se ries of troughs b with active material are car- WILHELM Patent No. 616,978, clatecl January 3, 1899'. G, oriel No. 614,356. Noiuorlel-l llG-kl, by outer troughs u, having perforated 5 upper edges, the latter troughs be-ingheld between the plates. This figure shows the negative electrodes 1:,while the electrodes ale scribed above form the positive elements in the battery. I

The block Y at the bottom of Fig; i is' of aindia-ruhheror other suitable insulating material. Said hlochhas for its purp'osc'to provide a soitbeariugto the electrodes. The cuwent-conductors c c are usually of load or 5 lead composition.

'lh'e troughs may be covered with perforated covers X, Fig. 4,,which will permit the access ofliquid to the troughs and to the; active material.
